Why do cats make purring sounds?

Cats will purr when they are in a familiar environment and around familiar people. The purring sound indicates that the cat is in a good mood and a relatively relaxed state. When a cat purrs, it is not asleep. Cats usually don't purr when they are playing, feeling stressed, or truly asleep. They only purr when they feel satisfied or when they are lying in their owner's arms, feeling relaxed and happy.

What does it mean when a cat makes purring sounds?

When a cat purrs, it usually means that the cat feels comfortable and secure. This is generally a normal situation, and owners don't need to worry too much. However, if the cat shows signs of rapid breathing, such as open mouth breathing or purple tongue, it may be due to difficulty breathing or respiratory tract obstruction. It is recommended to take the cat to the pet hospital for further inspection and treatment to prevent the condition from worsening.

The personality of neutered cats

Usually, after neutering, the cat's body secretes less testosterone and estrogen, so their personality tends to be more gentle. However, some cats may be stimulated during the neutering process or may exhibit a more aggressive personality due to individual differences. This is less common.

Which breed of cat has a good personality?

Cats of breeds such as British Shorthair, American Shorthair, Ragdoll, Maine Coon, Garfield, and Siamese have good personalities, being gentle, obedient, and attached. However, specific personalities vary depending on individual cats. If the owner accompanies the cat from a young age, it is beneficial for the cat's personality development. If the kitten grows up in a fearful environment, it may develop into a timid or highly stressed cat.
